Marine Defense

As a system supplier, we are also able to provide you with complex, combined propulsion solutions, for corvettes or frigates, for example. This includes CODAD (Combined Diesel And Diesel), CODAG (Combined Diesel And Gas Turbine), CODOG (Combined Diesel Or Gas Turbine) and CODELOG propulsion systems (Combined Diesel Electric Or Gas Turbine).

With so many available options, MTU is able to configure the best propulsion system for your vessel – all from one source. Also as part of our systems expertise, we can offer you on-board power and automation systems that are perfectly aligned with the engines, regardless of your vessel size. And our service doesn’t end at the installation and commissioning phase.

If desired, we offer complete and tailor-made service packages as part of our integrated logistics solutions. These perfectly match your individual requirements and range from the procurement of spare parts and tools to installation support and on-board training.

Navies, coast guards, law enforcement and other government agencies worldwide require the ability to react swiftly and effectively, even under extreme circumstances. MTU gives them the power to do this through solutions that perfectly match their complex requirements.

With decades of experience, MTU is the right partner for those who place the highest demands upon their propulsion systems. Our strong reputation for performance is based on years of developing, producing and supporting complete propulsion and on-board power systems for naval and governmental vessels.

Our engines stand out with their high power density and power-to-weight ratio, their compact design as well as their mechanical and thermal stability. On top of that, they are easy to use and maintain, with low life-cycle costs. MTU engines cover a broad power range from 300 to 10,000 kW. This gives every vessel the right propulsion – from small patrol crafts to frigates and large submarines.

MTU Drive Solutions for Navy and Government Vessels:

As a system provider, MTU not only offers you complex and powerful propulsion systems for large naval ships with a wide operational spectrum, but also offers everything for on-board power supply and ship automation – perfectly aligned from one source.

Support vessels and tenders as well as task group supply and landing crafts need special propulsion systems. These can be individually tailored to your needs with reliable and powerful MTU diesel engines.

Given their sensitive duties, mine countermeasure vessels such as minesweepers and mine hunters place strict demands upon their propulsion systems – requirements that MTU engines are designed to fulfill.

MTU is one of the few manufacturers that can satisfy the extremely high technical demands placed on submarine engines. We’ve been leading in this field for decades with our substantial experience: most conventional submarines around the world use MTU engines.

The MTU Callosum integrated ship automation system allows for the complete monitoring of propulsion, on-board power supply and ship operations for large vessels with complex systems. For smaller ships, our standard BlueVision_Advanced I New Generation system is ideal.

The repowering of naval and governmental vessels that have proven themselves in duty is an economic alternative to new procurement. With decreased downtime and reduced costs throughout the entire life cycle of a ship, repowering with MTU can be a strategic advantage.
